‘Tis the slushy season. Every little thing from school to the movies to the mall seems a little too moist and a little too hazy and... whine, whine, whine. It's not quite spring until spring break arrives. If only there were a place to go with a little activity, a little of that outdoor feel? How about catching a game? Live? In person? Toss the kids in the SUV and head out to watch one of out local athletic reps do their thing. Here's a novice's guide to some basics:
Rochester Razorsharks (basketball - American Basketball Association): Blue Cross Arena; $9-26.50 though various deals can improve that price; last home game this season is March 8, 7:05 p.m. followed by the playoffs; www.razorsharks.com.
Rochester Knighthawks (indoor lacrosse - National Lacrosse League): Blue Cross Arena; $15-27 or reduced by the occasional promotion; next home game is March 31, 7:35 p.m.; www.knighthawks.net.
Rochester Americans (ice hockey - American Hockey League): Blue Cross Arena; $11-20 or less with the periodic coupon; next home game is March 9, 7:35 p.m.; www.amerks.com.
Rochester Raiders (indoor football - Continental Indoor Football League): Armory Arena; $10+ with season tix being the best deal; kickoff the season on March 17, 7 p.m.; www.rochesterraiders.com.
And it's not too early to look forward to opening day for the outdoor teams as well. Nothing quite says you believe in another summer like standing in a spring downpour with a baby sleeping in your arms waiting for the game to resume.
